To measure cytokine protein levels by the MSD Mouse Proinflammatory V-Plex Plus Kit (IFNγ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, CXCL1, TNF; K15012C, Mesoscale) under naïve conditions and 3 days after SCI, we used a SECTOR Imager 6000 (Mesoscale Discovery, Rockville, USA) Plate Reader according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Data was analyzed using MSD Discovery Workbench software [50 (link), 51 (link)].
